    Since this part has been dead for a while.

    JGsales.com has a 250 round case of 00 buck on sale for 99 bucks


    Ive ordered a case of it before and have had no problems with it, no malfunctions, cycled great in my Semiauto, came out to 120 after shipping

    Cheapest ive seen is like 190

    Not a bad price for training 00 buck, but after using Federal Flite control i won't use anything other than that for defense ever again.

          Is that a bit tight for home defense?
          Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

          Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

          Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

          Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

            I bought a case of this ammo, it's fine. But the boxes are the cheapest crap I have ever seen. This stuff is made in Italy and they have come up with cardboard so flimsy, if you even pick up a box, the top or bottom of the box flops open, shells fly everywhere. Never thought I would care about packaging so much but these are a PITA. Ammo is fine for low cost Buck, it goes boom every time so far.

                Yeah, the packaging sucks, but the quality of hull feels pretty sturdy, its roll crimped so idk if it can be re rolled or not, but what i use usually goes straight into the ammo can, the rest under the bed anyways haha

                    That's pretty inexpensive.... they are using low brass and I'd assume the hulls are weak. For that price I'm surprised they didn't use cheap aluminum cases.

                    I'd assume the powder charge is pretty low on those? How is the recoil compared to standard 00 buck?

                      Just shot more today out of my hatsan S/A and my brothers Model 88

                      Recoil doesnt seem anything different then standard 00buck, and like i said the hulls feel pretty strong i dont reload so i can say much for that aspect, but i also noticed the new hulls are crimped opposed to the roll with the little plastic disc on the top.

                      I threw a clay in the air by hand and hit it with 00 buck out of my brothers model 88 so im happy hahah

                        The amount of powder in them goes up about as high as a normal tall brass round, as far as the hull being lowbrass idk if there are any advantages or disadvantages to it but inspection of shells that have been fired they all look good, doesnt look bulged or burned or anything, and as far as strength they feels stiffer then a Win AA hull, again i dont reload so idk if thats better or worse. and the one on the right was the first crate i got and the one on the left was the most recent from a few days ago referring to the way they were crimped
